A Serendipitous Meeting

Yesterday I was walking around the Upper West Side when I saw this beautiful woman. I asked if I could take her photo and handed her a business card. She took one glance at the card and exclaimed, " Advanced Style, you took my photograph about two years in Battery Park." I love running into people I have photographed before and this was surely serendipitous as I hoped that we would meet again some day. I am so excited to have a new Advanced Style muse to share with everyone. At 82 years old Claire not only has great style, but a wonderful spirit and zest for life.CLICK HERE to check out a great story about Claire and her best friend's in The New York Times and enjoy the video and photos below.

Claire is absolutely beautiful. Ari, you have such a valuable blog here, I think it's really important that these truly stylish women and men are acknowledged. I live in Australia and you are making me think seriously about visiting New York.

What a stunning woman! I want to be her when I grow up (well, in about 20 years). The green coat is a classic. I love that you find these wonderful people, Ari. So inspiring! I work with their peers in L.A. and experience the same thing you observe - attitude is everything!
